That said, it looks like the amount of support SegWit2x is losing is still not quite as dramatic as it's being presented. It's going to require most of the major players, including BITMAIN, to back down for it to become less relevant. For now, it's still a very significant event and there's not long left to go.

People who are adamantly against 2X jump at every chance to say NYA companies are dropping out, but every time they mention one, it's a company I've never heard of. What the hell is Bitso? Or Wayniloans? Someone page me when BitFlyer, BitPay, Bitmain, Bitfury, Bixin, Blockchain, BTC.com, BTCC, BTC.TOP, Coinbase, ShapeShift, etc. drop out of the agreement.

I find it curious that btc1 node numbers have lately risen considerably, and in a fashion that seems indicative of corporate gaming, not groundswell demand or grassroots preference ...

This is something I see as one of the surest signs this thing is DOA.
Perhaps it's all over but the crying?

Yeah, it's the standard Bitcoin Unlimited or Bitcoin Classic move. Can't make the argument that people are using the network if nodes don't exist, right? That said, I think that people are overly confident that no one will care if a majority of the hash rate leaves the network. They didn't care with BCH -- but in that case, no one was calling BCH "Bitcoin" or giving it the BTC ticker. Bitpay and Shapeshift weren't leaving the network, etc...
